How did he even get promoted to AAA with a career. OPS in the minors below .700? Was he an emergency fill-in for the guy Dipoto gave away to the Redsox?

Doing it without any homeruns, very Mariner-y.

What this needs to show is when we look at the numbers for guys like Shed Long, JP Crawford, (Mallex Smith), is that PCL numbers aren't going to mean much right now.

Are those ridiculous ERA's across the whole level still playing out?

Curletta was attempted to be snuck thru DFA/waivers - Didn't work, he was claimed. Left a hole at 1B in Tacoma. Nobody ready to be promoted.

May 7, 2019 Seattle Mariners selected the contract of nobody SS Ryan Court from the Indie League Sugar Land Skeeters. He's done surprisingly well hitting and playing 1B.
May 25, 2019 Tacoma Rainiers placed 1B Ryan Court on the 7-day injured list.

Thus, we get to the young phenom (not sustainable) Perez.

May 24, 2019 Robert Perez assigned to Tacoma Rainiers from DSL Mariners.
March 10, 2019 IF Robert Perez assigned to Seattle Mariners.
June 2, 2017 1B Robert Perez assigned to DSL Mariners.
July 7, 2016 Seattle Mariners signed free agent LF Robert Perez to a minor league contract.

Go Robert, Go!!!

He has improved each season:
2017 .217 .282 .321 .603 OPS
2018 .248 .378 .448 .826 OPS
2019 .364 .440 .545 .985 OPS

I admit the DSL to AAA jump is a bit much. Maybe they were just trying to get a little jump on short A season for him.
